Do you tell the players you will call handchecking and "play the game with their feet" too?

That line has already been used. Can't you think of something more original? Leave it to you to not be able to understand the difference between the two. Simple thoughts from simple minds. Aren't you the one that always says to do things the way they do them in your area? Of course, you say to do it even when the rulebook contradicts you so this sitch is a little different, but you never have let the facts stop you before so why start now? Everyone around here, even at the state tourney, has the trail blowing their whistle to signify the end of the half. It works well and has good reasoning behind it.
